Asadal

10 out of 10 stars

Largest and Best Korean restaurant in London

Over the last few years, I have regularly met with friends and family from Korea, China, United States, and Europe at the ASADAL restaurant. Now we meet at the new ASADAL at Holborn tube station. We are always craving its great and high quality Korean food, but also to share time together in an atmosphere that reminds us of Korea. ASADAL is definitely our favourite Korean restaurant.

Some of our favourite dishes are:

Starter:
· Japchae (sweat potato /glass noodles with stir-fried vegetables)
· Handmade mandu (dumplings)
· Nice and almost crispy Pacheon (Korean pancake)
· Sae-woo-twe-gim – delicious type of King Tiger prawns and vegetable tempura to dip in a special sauce
· Kan-poong-gi – sweet and spicy fried chicken
Main course:
· Bibimpap (they have several varieties: normal, with raw meat or raw fish) and you can ask the level of spiciness
· Our favourite is the creamy sundubu chigae (soft tofu soup with seafood) or kimchi chigae (kimchi soup)
· Bulgogi (Korean barbecue). It is even better with Sang-chu that’s the fresh leaves of lettuce and Korean bean paste
· Dak-galbi, that's the spicy marinated chicken with vegetables that they cook at your table

Dessert:
· Fresh fruits always cut in a special way
· Children (and adults) also enjoy ice cream
· Alternatively, they have the sik hae or Korean sweet rice punch

Note that ASADAL also accommodates for our vegetarian friends. It is easily identifiable on the menu, but to make sure I always notify the waiter/waitress.

The restaurant can accommodate large crowds. It is possible to eat within the intimacy of our own group of people at a very large table. There are dividers and even free private rooms.

ASADAL is a child-friendly place. . I heartily recommend it, as it is our favourite restaurant!!! Ms. Lee
